Vacancy
E-commerce is booming and plays an important role in Fiskars Group's growth. The E-commerce Manager is responsible for all commercial activities through the e-commerce channel for the Vita portfolio in continental Europe, as well as for some online Terra and Crea accounts. This makes the weight and impact of the role particularly high. Externally, the E-commerce Manager is the face of Fiskars towards large pure players; internally, they are part of the international E-commerce team responsible for all indirect online sales in Continental Europe. The E-commerce Manager represents the e-commerce channel from a single-position role, but is internationally part of the Continental Europe team. It goes without saying that the E-commerce Manager Continental Europe is the focus of much attention both internally and externally. They report directly to Violaine Pillegand/Holtzmann, the Head of indirect E-commerce Continental Europe based in the Paris offices. Currently, the Netherlands and Germany are Fiskars' largest e-commerce markets. The E-commerce Manager will spread its wings even further - especially in Southern Europe there is still a world of opportunity waiting to be seized. With a fresh outlook, they will take a look at existing collaborations and how to intensify them. At the same time, new business development is also a priority. The E-commerce Manager searches all over continental Europe for opportunities for collaborations with new partners; creating commercial opportunities is her/his second nature. The ideal candidate is an internationally oriented digital native who can think on a strategic level, is able to see past the commercial game and gets energized by new opportunities. Affinity with premium brands is a requirement, as is a pragmatic, hands-on attitude. In doing so, they will make an essential contribution to the growth of a leading, dynamic company while being part of an international team that turns the ordinary into something extraordinary every day.
